Next level Improv for students who have mastered the basics and are ready to level up in their Improv journey. Students will be divided into two or more groups based on experience, interests, and specific show requirements.
A Note: Students must have Improv specific training to enroll, preferably at ExAb, The Hideout or Zach. General performance or theatrical training/experience is not an adequate substitute. Believe us when we say this is an important rule.
- At this time, masks are optional during indoor classes.
- There will be an end-of-session showcase and opportunities to perform at ExAb Nights and at the Excused Absence Comedy Festival.
